    1. I'm right you're wrong

    Man, the third learning nearly made me rip my apartment to shreds...…...which is also my home office, my only place of existence except for one hour a day.

    It was pronounced today. The Bews into Daniel then into Hawkins almost had me up for over $5K of technology expenditure.

    I really appreciated reading this. This situation isn’t good for my blood pressure. Two little kids upstairs I can’t wake up so I’m not able to “release” all the emotion and frustration.

    I actually put my phone on the other side of the room because one more missed incorrect disposal or throw in our forward line and it was going through the TV!

    1. We still have a lot of experience to build in our group, in both game day scenarios and on field leadership and it’ll come over time

    2. Tonight we learnt how “perfect” over 4 quarters we need to be to match the top teams. They really punished our mistakes as we did to them in the first quarter

    3. Zac Thouhy is made out of titanium and I want to have a beer with him

    1. Placing no value at all on the ruck situation points to refusing to face up to the reality of it costing us games, this intransigence is getting to the point of incompetence.
    2. JJ could have won us two more games.
    3. Those who the MC has seemingly decided never to pick should be given games now as our season is over.

    Hard as nails. I've broken a rib before and the thought of anyone even touching me makes me wince.

    1/ Dunkley being forced to ruck sucks dogs balls

    2/ Our positional kicking needs to improve. We need to kick the ball to where we want the players to be, not where they are. Case in point Ed’s kick to Hunter.

    3/ We’re closer than I thought we were.

    And when you have the opposition by the throat you need to squeeze harder!

    1. Our best is still good enough. That first quarter was a thing of beauty, then..hello darkness my old friend.

    2. Chris Scott can coach. They adjusted to our movement backwards out of congestion after qtr time brilliantly.

    3. If we can’t get Pantene or Decore to fill the Mercedes void after Marcus’ mane of glory was unsheathed last night, then sack the lot of em.

    1. If our first quarter was 2016 the three quarters that followed has been the time that has elapsed since.

    2. Will Hayes showed me he can play football.

    1. Dangerfield might just get that flag that has so far alluded him. Credit where credit is due, they were sensational and we were embarrassed.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Ha, good point. It really was like the last 5 years of supporting the Dogs rolled into one game.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I don't think we were embarrassed, but you're right about Geelong. They knuckled down and stopped the rot and showed what good teams do when the chips are down.

    Should have targeted him physically the second time he came back on. Disrupt the focus of the Geelong team who were chipping away pretty methodically. Punch him, slam him into the ground, knee him in the back, whatever. Absolutely punish him for going back out there and force his team mates to try protect him.
